"Bobblehead dolls of the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln have been pulled from sale at the Gettysburg National Military Park visitors' center bookstore."

The dolls of John Wilkes Booth with a handgun were removed from shelves on Saturday, a day after a reporter for Hanover's The Evening Sun newspaper asked about them, officials said.
"On rare occasions, there's an item that might cause concern, and obviously the bobbleheads appeared to be doing that," Gettysburg Foundation spokeswoman Dru Anne Neil said Tuesday.

Duh. Let's go the site of Lincoln's most famous speech and sell memorabilia of his assassin.

Some idiot had to decide we needed a bobble head of an infamous murderer; then some other idiot had to decide we should sell it at Gettysburg.

Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?
